Ninja CREAMi Deluxe NC501UK
Larger frozen tubs for scoops, drinks and separate flavours
Editorial review Reviewed 9 October 2026 How we assess products
The Deluxe is our strongest all-round choice for prepared frozen desserts and drinks. Its two 709ml tubs and portion processing offer more flexibility than a small churner, and balanced recipes can produce smooth dairy-free desserts too. Freeze each base level for around 24 hours; the short processing cycle does not remove that wait. Re-spinning can improve a crumbly result, though the bottom layer may remain uneven. Biscuits can break down and chunky additions may need several steps to mix. Clear controls and removable washable parts help with the routine. Its loud cycles and tall body favour planned use with dependable storage space. A compressor suits last-minute dessert better; the smaller Freeze Wand is easier to store for individual portions.
